Illustrated by
Laura Regan.
Winters's spare and forthright prose poem tells the story of how one independent tigress raises her cubs, protecting them from danger and teaching them to behave, swim, and hunt. Winters adeptly uses onomatopoeia, subtle rhymes, and deliberate rhythms to pace the dramatic narrative. Regan's detailed paintings, though dark, reflect the poise and prowess of the tigress herself.
